Fairbanks Wins Indiana Senate Nomination After Open Ballot Clash
A heated Indiana Republican caucus in the state house decided Chas. W. Fairbanks will succeed Voorhees in the U S Senate. The group backed an open ballot amid fierce opposition from McKee and others, while 18 legislators threatened to walk out if the open method stood. After a volatile night, Fairbanks captured the vote as Stetler denounced intimidation, and the caucus adjourned with Fairbanks supporters celebratory in the Denison lobby.
